Author Carole Carlson uses a variety of real-world examples, cases, and profiles to illustrate how entrepreneurs around the world are changing their communities. Exercises allow students to practice developing their entrepreneurial skillset as they learn the fundamentals of structuring, financing, marketing, and scaling social ventures. Whatever social cause your students are passionate about, they will find Social Entrepreneurship a vital resource for making their vision a reality.
